The Barcelona

Attack:
With this tactic, you have more option of attack because of the extra man forward. Both left and right forwards can be used to stretch the defence to open up for the center striker. Alternatively, you can also have the central midfielders attack through the center and force them to defend more centrally, then using your wide players to go behind the defence to create openings. Either way, you will always have enough attackers to improvise.
When counter-attacking, it is always to be quick and to attack with pace. Catch the opponents off gaurd with 3 forwards. When on the counter, try to stay wide and keep the defence stretched. This will make it harder for the opponent as they have to track your players while at the same time, try to keep a tight defence.

Defence:
This tactical play has a weakened defence compared to others. This is because you have one less person to defend. It is always important to play a defensive midfielder, someone to pick up loose balls in midfield and act as another defender in front of the back four defenders.
Try to keep a tight defence and try to stay closer together. This makes it harder for opponents to get past you. When you get a chance, hit them with a counter-attack as you will always be ready for it with 3 attackers waiting.
